Last knife steel question

[IUBI]

I have been posting many knife steel questions lately and hopefully this will be my last, so here it goes

Is there a web page that could tell me different kinds of steels used in different tools(i.e. old files- W2, leaf springs- 5160)?

can anyone help me?

I know this has been hit before, here's one place:

http://www.bladeforums.com/ubb/Forum12/HTML/001251.html

Use the "search" feature and look for things like "drill bits" (A2 or M2?) or "leaf springs" (5160) etc.

Also look at the bladeforums steel FAQ:

Keep asking questions, we all learn from them.
